Sound Control Technologies RC5-CE – RemoteCam5 Camera-End Replacement Module

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RC5-CE is the camera-end replacement module for the RemoteCam5 camera extension platform. RemoteCam5 Gen2 delivers 4K30 HDMI video, Ethernet, control, and camera power over a single CAT cable up to 100 meters between the codec rack and a PTZ camera. This replacement module lets AV integrators and facilities managers restore a failed RemoteCam5 installation by swapping only the camera-side module, keeping the head-end module and installed cabling in place.

Product Description

In a RemoteCam5 system, the camera-end module mounts at the camera position — on a wall mount, ceiling mount, or camera shelf — and links to the RC5-HE head-end module at the rack over the SCTLink CAT cable. The module provides the camera with HDMI video return, control, and power on the single link, supporting Cisco, Poly, Panasonic, Sony, and other professional PTZ cameras depending on kit configuration. When troubleshooting isolates a fault to the camera side, replacing only the RC5-CE restores full system operation without touching the rack-side electronics, the camera mount, or the field-run CAT link. The module is a like-for-like replacement built to the original RemoteCam5 specification and pairs directly with the installed head-end module. Because the camera-end module installs at the camera position, the swap can typically be completed at the mount without recabling the room, keeping service time and disruption to the meeting space minimal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the RC5-CE compatible with other RemoteCam platforms?

No. The RC5-CE is the camera-end replacement specifically for RemoteCam5 systems. RemoteCam4, RemoteCam6, and RemoteCam8 require their own CE modules; the platforms are not interchangeable.

How do I know whether I need the RC5-CE or the RC5-HE?

The RC5-CE is the camera-side module; the RC5-HE is the rack-side (codec end) module. If the fault is at the equipment rack, you need the RC5-HE. Contact Creation Networks for diagnostic support.

Will the RC5-CE pair with my existing head-end module and cabling?

Yes. It is a like-for-like replacement that pairs directly with the installed RC5-HE over your existing CAT link cable.

Are my camera connection cables reused?

Yes. The replacement module uses the camera-specific cables from your original RemoteCam5 kit. Contact Creation Networks if any cables also need replacement.

What warranty applies to this replacement module?

Sound Control Technologies provides a standard advance replacement limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for current warranty terms.
